Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.

KJV

Dixit autem Saul ad Jonathan : Indica mihi quid feceris. Et indicavit ei Jonathas, et ait : Gustans gustavi in summitate virgæ quæ erat in manu mea, paululum mellis, et ecce ego morior.

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπεν Σαοὺλ πρὸς Ἰωναθάν Ἀπάγγειλόν μοι τί πεποίηκας· καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ Ἰωναθὰν καὶ εἶπεν Γευόμενος ἐγευσάμην ἐν ἄκρῳ τῷ σκήπτρῳ τῷ ἐν τῇ χειρί μου βραχὺ μέλι, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποθνήσκω.

LXX

Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and, lo, I must die.
